Brno - The developers of the Regional Development Principles (RDP) of the South Moravian Region presented four working variants to the mayors of the Brno-Country district today. They now have the opportunity to express their views so that the final versions of these variants can be presented in January, said Deputy Governor Antonín Tesařík (KDU-ČSL). The principles outline, among other things, corridors for transport and energy routes. The region will gradually inform mayors of other municipalities in the area about this material. The Supreme Administrative Court annulled the previous Regional Development Principles more than two years ago due to insufficient assessment of the environmental and public health impacts of transport constructions. The current principles are being developed by the Urban Planning Center Brno and Atelier T-plan. The first variant is the basic one and assumes rather small investments and no significant new constructions. It considers the completion of the Brno large city ring road, the expansion of the highway around Brno, and minor constructions on roads I/43 and I/53. It includes the bypass around Znojmo and Mikulov and a two-lane bypass around Břeclav. "It is more of a phased scenario than a target concept. According to the transport load model, by 2035, there would be an overload of networks and a collapse," stated Vanda Ciznerová and Marie Wichsová for the developers. According to Tesařík, the transportation models project a 40% increase in traffic over 20 years. The second variant is based on suggestions from ecologists who opposed the proposed variants of some road routes. It operates under the assumption that traffic should not be drawn into the metropolitan area around Brno but rather into the peripheral areas. It does not account for the R52 from Pohořelice to Mikulov but rather for connecting Austria via Břeclav. Another connection to Vienna from Prague considers road I/38 and a large bypass around Znojmo. According to this variant, the R43 road would lead through the Boskovice basin, thus further away from Brno to the west. "This variant caters to transit traffic, but 80% is concentrated in the metropolitan area," claim the developers. The scenario of the third variant is considered by the developers to be the most effective in terms of transport. The future R43 highway would run through Bystrc, the highway to Vienna through Mikulov, and R55 would run through Pomoraví. The proposal also includes a so-called southwestern tangent that would connect the R522 highway with the D1 highway, where it would join the R43. However, it was precisely because of the Bystrc variant and the southwestern tangent that affected municipalities spoke up, leading to the court’s annulment of the RDP. "The law states that no further constructions can worsen noise and pollution where limits are already being exceeded. And that concerns us and the surrounding area," mayor of Ostopovice Jan Symon previously told ČTK. The last variant again includes the R43 in the Boskovice basin, with R55 running more easterly, not in parallel with the railway. Both of the last two variants also consider a so-called southern tangent that would connect D2 and R52 between Rajhrad and Chrlice. The region will commission several studies that will examine the possibility of leading selected routes and their impact on the environment. The region aims to approve the document in 2016. For those constructions where a specific route cannot be determined, it intends to use the option of land reserves in the municipal zoning plans.
